Low Semen Volume at 69: Causes & What to Expect


Question
I am 69 years old and I only have a very small volumne of clear semem upon ejaculation.  My PSA count has been consistently low for several years.  Is the amount of semen something to be concerned about?  Thank you.

Answer
Hi David,
Not really. This happens with aging and a lower production of seminal fluid. Another thing that can make the volume lower is dehydration. If you aren't drinking enough water either by choice or by design (heart issues) that will lower production as well. As we grow older we lose our taste for water and stay relatively dehydrated all the time--not good.
